Underlying cause of 'brain fog' linked with long COVID discovered
Scientists have announced a major discovery that has profound importance for our understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline seen in some patients with Long COVID. The findings showed that there was disruption to the integrity of the blood vessels in the brains of patients suffering from Long COVID and brain fog. This blood vessel 'leakiness' was able to objectively distinguish those patients with brain fog and cognitive decline compared to patients suffering from Long-COVID but not with brain fog.

Federal government admits there were ‘unacceptable gaps’ in ArriveCan app management following auditor general report - NOW Toronto
Federal government admits there were ‘unacceptable gaps’ in ArriveCan app management following auditor general report - NOW Toronto
This is a perfect example (and there are many) of post pandemic research and reviews - governments, researchers and studies willingly will admit faults *because they are made of people. People review, science reviews - nothing is hidden in some conspiratorial way. Because people are human and there is no grand conspiracy - if there was, someone with legitimate credibility would blow the whistle. Instead - all we see are quacks with little to no credibility. If they had any, legitimate professionals would take notice.

Correction as a Solution for Health Misinformation on Social Media
Correction as a Solution for Health Misinformation on Social Media

Because I value the pursuit truth I am always quick to admit my misunderstandings or when I am wrong.

And further, I admire this quality from the countless professionals I follow. In fact, when they do not admit mistakes (such as numerous medical "professional", a few specific ones come to mind) - I immediately unfollow and stop supporting.

These people do not have your best interest in heart - only their own.

"Expert sources themselves are more effective in correcting misinformation than users are, and engaging in such corrections on social media does not appear to negatively affect their credibility.5 Sharing corrections that counter personal or political interest can enhance trust and thus effectiveness, so considering trusted sources among a target audience is essential."
